3.2 Connecting DCM300 to a computer

Once your hard drive is installed in DCM300, you are ready to use it with your computer.

To do so, follow these easy steps:

1. Insert the USB or Firewire 400/800 connector to

your computer’s corresponding port.

2. Insert the USB or Firewire 400/800 to DCM300’s

corresponding port. Ensure correct connector

orientation to obtain a snug fit.

3. The unit’s backlight will turn on, indicating that

DCM300 has powered up.

Notes on using USB port:

• Do not attempt to use DCM300 when connected to a bus-powered USB hub or USB

extension cable.

• Connecting to a non-USB compliant port may cause operation damage or failure.

• If insufficient power to DCM300, connect both connectors of the USB Y-cable to the

computer’s USB ports.

• To achieve USB 2.0 speeds, always connect DCM300 to a USB 2.0 Hi-Speed port.

Notes on using Firewire port:

• If you are using Firewire 400, please ensure that you have a 9-to-6 pin bilingual cable

and connect the 6 pin end to the computer’s Firewire port.
